Both the A and the J, each a half-mile away in each direction are a schlep.I think you need to quantify schlep. 1/2 mile is a 10 minute walk. 25% of NYC residents live further than 1/2 mile from a subway station. They would not consider being 1/2 mile away from a subway station a schlep. After the success of its first two lines, Paris decided Metro expansion's goal should be to place a stop within 900 meters of every location in within that City's borders. They followed that policy. 900 meters is approximately 0.56 mi. |
